Summary
JOURNAL STANDARD relume has created a stylish shirt jacket inspired by classic Brooks Brothers pajamas. The design is based on a vintage piece from when Brooks Brothers made its clothing in the USA. It’s been updated with details like striped piping, a new collar shape, and a modern fit to make it perfect for everyday wear – not just bedtime.
JOURNAL STANDARD relume and Brooks Brothers collaborated to create a stylish shirt jacket inspired by classic Brooks Brothers pajamas. They took a comfortable sleepwear design and refined it for everyday wear, keeping the relaxed feel but adding sharper details so it doesn’t look like you just rolled out of bed.
The jacket begins with the fabric itself: a soft, 60-count cotton stripe. This yarn feels comfortable against the skin, has a slightly textured, seersucker-like appearance, and allows the fabric to breathe. Because it’s not lined and is made of 100% cotton, the jacket is lightweight and perfect for wearing as a layer in early autumn without overheating.
Okay, so this new pajama shirt has a really cool detail. Instead of just having a solid color trim around the edges like most pajamas, they’re using the same striped fabric as the rest of the shirt. It’s a subtle change, but it makes the whole thing look way more polished and high-end. Honestly, it doesn’t even look like pajamas anymore – I could totally see myself wearing this as a light jacket when I’m out and about.
The jacket’s shape and collar have been updated for a more refined fit. The designers at relume shortened the length of the body and sleeves, and reduced bulk in the cuffs, moving away from an overly loose style. They also made the collar less rounded and added a button loop, giving it the feel of a classic open-collar shirt. It’s available in Bordeaux and Sax Blue, sizes M and L, and can still be hand-washed.
You can now pre-order the striped shirt jacket created through a collaboration between Brooks Brothers and JOURNAL STANDARD’s relume line. It’s expected to ship around mid-September 2026.
